Violinist Angèle Dubeau's newest release ELLE, is an album that magnificently marks the 25 years of existence of her orchestra La Pietà. This 46th album resonates with the feminine sensitivity and virtuosity specific to Angèle Dubeau and the ensemble she founded in 1997, which has ever since demonstrated its artistic excellence and audacity. ELLE transports listeners to a mesmerizing universe, that is alternately powerful and delicate, touching and ethereal. It features curated pieces by female composers from both here and abroad. François Vallières and Angèle Dubeau are responsible for the arrangements and orchestrations of most of the album recorded at the Église St-Mathieu-de-Beloeil.

There's a whole world of classical music waiting beyond the handful of famous pieces played on the radio. Classical Music Discoveries is built on the idea that the repertoire is vast, deep, and full of stunning works that rarely get a hearing. Each episode is a curated listening session, focusing on compositions from across the centuries that deserve a wider audience. You might hear a powerful symphony by a forgotten Romantic-era composer, a delicate chamber piece from the Baroque, or a compelling work from a living creator. The host provides just enough context to frame the music-perhaps a note on the historical period, the composer's unique story, or what makes the structure of the piece so engaging-before letting the recordings speak for themselves. It’s a quiet space to actively listen, whether you're a seasoned concert-goer or someone just beginning to explore beyond the classics. This podcast serves as an accessible guide, removing the intimidation factor and replacing it with a sense of genuine exploration. The focus remains firmly on the sound, offering a direct connection to the emotional and intellectual power of the works selected. Tune in to expand your personal playlist with beautiful and intriguing music you simply won't find in the standard rotation.
